urbanshitWie verfolgen die Arbeit des Künstlers Know Hope schon länger und sind sehr davon angetan. Die Arbeiten des aus Tel Aviv stammenden Künstlers zeichnen sich durch seine charakteristischen Zeichnungen und einen sehr gekonnten und bewusst gewählten Bezug zu der Umgebung aus.
Neben seinen Arbeiten auf der Straße stellt Know Hope Mitte April mit seiner ersten Soloausstellung in Paris aus. Die Ausstellung „Water Takes the Shape of its Container“ eröffnet am 11. April 2015 in der Pariser Galerie Openspace.

Know Hope
About the Artist: Declaring, “I hope to move heavy hearts at least one inch to the side by confessing that I’m petrified [of] and secretly in love with the world,” Know Hope has been bringing his heartfelt images of human struggle and promise to urban streets and gallery spaces since 2004. His narrative street art, murals, assemblages, and site-specific installations are based on observations of himself and his surroundings. Hope lives in Tel Aviv and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with its associated issues of identity, borders, and shared humanity, informs his work—though he insists that he is not a political artist. Composed of detritus and building materials, including wood, bricks, and weathered paper, Know Hope’s compositions are populated by a lanky everyman who wears his heart on his sleeve and stands for the precarious and precious connections between fellow human beings.
